An officer-involved shooting in Overton County left an unidentified man dead Tuesday evening.
The TBI is investigating. No officers were injured.
According to a written statement from the TBI, a resident of Livingston's Pedalbrook Lane called law enforcement to report an abandoned vehicle with bullet holes in it on his property at about 5 p.m. Tuesday.
When two Overton County Sheriff's deputies arrived, a male walked out of the nearby tree line toward them. There was a confrontation, and officers reported the man produced a handgun.
Officers fired shots. The unidentified man died at the scene.
District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway requested the TBI's assistance. They'll serve as fact-finders in the investigation and submit a report to Dunaway's office.
The TBI Special Agent Forensic Scientists with the Violent Crimes Response Team also responded to the scene.
